EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Floods along the Thames" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures the devastating floods that occurred along the iconic River Thames. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 13,1877. As we delve into this scene, our eyes are drawn to Lower Ham Road and railways submerged under water. Boats of various sizes navigate through the flooded streets, showcasing both resilience and adaptability in times of crisis. In the distance, Kingston Bridge stands tall amidst the chaos, while Teddington Weir roars with force. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness firsthand how these floods affected everyday life along the riverbanks. From small rowboats to sturdy tugboats, transportation becomes a challenge as people strive to maintain their daily routines despite nature's fury. Kingston and Richmond bear witness to this extraordinary event as buildings stand half-submerged in murky waters. This engraving serves as a historical record of not only a natural disaster but also highlights humanity's ability to persevere against adversity. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork from Bridgeman Images reminds us of our vulnerability in the face of nature's power while celebrating our indomitable spirit when faced with challenges beyond our control.
